I just pulled out my trusty old Pro 5.0 and installed MGW's new short-throw shifter. MGW's unit is a work of art. I'm sad to cover it up with my shifter boot! I also swapped my stock steering wheel with an '03 Cobra take-off.
MGW Shifter
I've only driven with it for 10 or so minutes so I will have better insight next week. Although it was a shorter throw than my Pro 5.0, it wan't that drastic of a reduction in range. However, the MGW unit does seem to be quite a bit smoother when engaging gears. The best thing about this unit is how you can position the handle. Since you can rotate the handle in any direction, you can place it in better reach.
Cobra Steering Wheel
The '03 Cobra steering wheel is considerably thicker than the stock GT wheel. Also, it's made of soft leather and is more pliable to the touch. It's a great alternative to the FR500 wheel, which is only available in black, since it is pretty much the same thickness and can be ordered in the same trim color as your car. As for the the 10th anniversary Cobra steering wheel, Ford and the dealers are reaming the public with their ridiculous prices... Grip wise, the new wheel is a vast improvement over the stock GT wheel.
Here are a few pictures:

Anyone need a stock dark charcoal grey GT steering wheel or an excellent condition Pro 5.0 shifter and handle for a T-5/45 transmission? Any offers will be entertained...
